#Repost Deborah Harkness FB page SHADOW OF NIGHT read along chapters 7-9 and outtake chapter ❓❓Did you know there is an outtake chapter for SHADOW OF NIGHT in THE WORLD OF ALL SOULS? “My mother is in Germany,” Matthew murmured, resting his hand on my shoulder. This was no comfort; his mother was anything but predictable. “Aye, and I’m in Wales.” Lizzie’s smile was mischievous. “If women did what men expected them to do, life would be very dull.” From the SHADOW OF NIGHT Outtake Chapter in THE WORLD OF ALL SOULS, pg 197 “Diana and Matthew’s first port of call in sixteenth-century France, the famous Mont Saint-Michel, is a fortified monastery perched on an islet just off the coast of Normandy. There has been a monastery there since the eighth century, founded by Bishop Aubert of Avranches. Surrounded by treacherous quicksands at low tide and the swirling waters of dangerous currents at high tide, Mont Saint-Michel has proved an impenetrable stronghold through the centuries, both in and out: For decades after the French Revolution, it was also used as a prison . Mont Saint-Michel was the original base for Louis XI’s Order of St. Michael (the motto for which Matthew whispered as they approached it), with the Knights Hall dedicated to the order.” -THE WORLD OF ALL SOULS, p 199 #ShadowOfNightreadalong2022 #TheWorldOfAllSouls #SONch7 #SONch8 #SONch9 image: Mont St Michel, but M@teo on Flickr. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck1RPbXIFq2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
